Starting the Game
Get ready to strut your stuff and flaunt your style! First, select “New Game” to play and enter a groovalicious name for your save slot. As you advance in the contest mode, your game will be automatically saved. When you start up the Game Boy® Advance again, select “Continue Game” and then the name of the game you created.
Use the Control Pad to select a letter and press the A Button to confirm your selection. You can press the B Button at any time to cancel a selection you have made. Select the “aA” button on the screen to change the case of the letters.
Difficulty Settings
You will then be able to select a difficulty for the game you are playing. There are 3 difficulty settings:
•
Casual Style: Only left and right arrows are used to make your character dance. If you're playing for the first time it's a good idea to select this difficulty to help you get used to the game!
•
Semi-Casual Cool: The normal difficulty level. You will use the entire Control Pad to control your character!
•
Formal Funk: You will need to use the A Button, the B Button, and the Control Pad to make your character dance. It's harder but you get way more points!!
Casual Cool gives you half the value of points that you would earn if you played Semi-Casual Cool, and you earn twice the value of points in Formal Funk!
The Characters
Choose from any of these five funkadelic Bratz girls: Cloe™, Sasha™, Yasmin™, Jade™, and Meygan™! There are 5 Bratz-girls to choose from. Each one has 2 different outfits to wear! Play with your favorite or play with them all! It's up to you.
To choose a character press Control Pad Left or Control Pad Right to cycle through them and choose your favorite costume! You'll be able to change the costumes between songs as you like.
The Menus
Main Menu for the game:
•
Practice: Use this mode to get familiar with the game and to practice songs and moves that you have unlocked!
•
Contest: The main mode of the game! Can you dance your way through to the Hollywood shoot? Unlock new moves, songs, and special moves in this mode. Play again with the different Bratz-girls to earn more points and unlock all the moves!
•
Multiplayer: Use your Game Boy® Advance Game Link® Cable to connect two Game Boy® Advance Systems and choose this option for multiplayer action!
•
Options: Here you can change the language, view the credits, or check out the highest scores!
The Game
Contest mode is the main mode of the game where you will get to dance your way to stardom! The better you dance, the more dance steps you unlock, and the better dancer you will become!
The Steps Indicator
This indicator tells you what the moves will be! Watch it closely and try to do as it says! Arrows radiate from the center. When one aligns with an outer arrow press your Control Pad in the same direction!
The more accurate you are, the better your score. Try to get as many perfect moves as you can to get a higher score. The higher your score, the more dance steps you unlock for use in the funky Freestyle sections!
Performing exceptionally well is hard to do but earns you even more points when you pull them off! Doing certain combinations of the Stylin' Moves earns you even more points. Be careful not to always do the same move because you earn fewer points for not being creative.
Multiplayer Modes
You can play Copy Cat or Competitive Dance with a friend! See the next page of this instruction booklet for the proper procedure and setup requirements of the Multiplayer Modes. In both game modes you can play as any Bratz-girl and use any of the moves you have unlocked so far!
•
Copy Cat: Player one goes first and performs one input and then player two copies that input and adds an input of their own! Then player one must repeat the two inputs in the chain and add a third and so forth. The first one to miss one in the sequence ends the game. What's the longest chain you and your friend can create?
•
Competitive Dance: You can play the Contest against a friend! Can you out-dance them and be the winner? Use any of the moves you have unlocked so far to be the best dancer around! Flaunt it!
